This was disclosed by his son, former senator Jinggoy Estrada, in a Facebook post on Friday (April 16).
“We wish to announce that my father had a slight setback last night (April 15) as his doctors found a super imposed bacterial lung infection,” he said.
According to the younger Estrada, his father has been brought back to a non-COVID-19 Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for monitoring and to support his blood pressure.
The lung infection, according to him, caused the former president’s blood pressure to fluctuate.
“But overall, he is stable with high flow oxygen support,” said Estrada.
